Uh oh. I have been out stocking my used new Jeep called Blue. I thought I had the emergency items covered until I saw this. Shovel and de icer for the windshield are great ideas. Could not breathe around the kitty litter, though! Cell phone...TWO!

I do not like to drive in winter when there is snow. I am glad that I have a job where we can cancel appointments if there is too much snow unlike other professions where they have to go to work in bad weather.

There are times we too need to go out in bad weather so it is good to be prepared.

I always make sure that my car has a full tank of gas when we are expecting major snow storms.

Other things that I have most of the time are :

small snow shovel

kitty litter

flashlight

booster cable

hand warmers

cell phone and car charger

windshield de-icer spray

and I always carry bottled water and some snacks - protein bars

The most important item for me is the cell phone . I never leave home without it.

Such good advice! There is no section of our great country that doesn't have the potential for some type of weather/disaster emergency. It's good idea to cycle the protein bars so they do't get old...and find something that doesn't melt if you live here in Texas or some other very hot climate. Thanks!
